eXistenZ

Performance Notes

×
Released on the eve of the millennium, David Cronenberg’s sci-fi thriller eXistenZ delves deep into our
fears and techno-fetishistic desires about the future of virtual reality gaming, and explores a world where
players can physically connect their bodies to games via bio-ports, outlets surgically inserted into their
spines. eXistenZ presents an eerily organic and dystopic vision of technology, where reality becomes
increasingly indistinguishable from the manipulated construction of it. Starring Jennifer Jason Leigh and
Jude Law, the film also features Willem Dafoe in a darkly humorous supporting role.
